Cairns based artist Brian Robinson has recently left his position as Curator at the Cairns Regional Gallery. Having always pursued his art practice "after hours", Brian has been awarded a twelve month artist-in-residence at KickArts Contemporary Arts in Cairns. Over the next year Brian will be working out of the Djumbunji Press studios, as well as teaching print making workshops in communities in Cape York and the Torres Strait.
Brian's influences come from his Torres Strait heritage, as well as contemporary day to day surroundings in Cairns. Brian has favoured lino cuts for many years, where patterns are dug into a piece of lino, then the lino is covered in ink and put through a press so the pattern is transferred on to a piece of paper.
Most of the images which can be seen in Brian's current exhibition (now on view at KickArts) reveal handiwork of extremely fine detail. There are also a few etchings in the show, a process that Brian has recently become keen on.
